38 reviewsGrace Paley hasn't written much, but the stories she has written are gems, and all of them (from The Little Disturbances Of Man, Enormous Changes At The Last Minute, and Later The Same Day) are collected here in this classic collection - demonstrating her rich use of language, as well as her extraordinary insight into and compassion for her characters, moving from the hilarious to the tragic and back again.
Grace Paley's stories are united by her signature interweaving of personal and political truths, by her extraordinary capacity for empathy, and by her pointed, funny depiction of the small and large events that make up city life. As her work progresses, we encounter many of the same characters and revisit the same sites, bearing witness to a community as it develops and matures, becoming part, ourselves, of a dense and vital world that is singular yet achingly familiar. Whether writing about the love (and conflict) between parents and children or between husband and wife, or about the struggles of aging single mothers or disheartened political organizers to make sense of the world, she brings the same unerring ear for the rhythm of life as it is actually lived.
“Grace Paley makes me weep and laugh--and admire. She is that rare kind of writer, a natural, with a voice like no one else's: funny, sad, lean, modest, energetic, acute.” — Susan Sontag
“Paley writes with a declarative elegance all her own, and her best characters display a dogged courage to be confused and curious about their lives." - Kirkus Reviews
“I can't think of another writer who captures the itch of the city, the love between parents and children, or the cutting edge of combat, as well.” — Lis Harris, The New York Times Book Review
